The Edinburgh/Durham Southern Galaxy Catalogue

The study of the large-scale structure in the universe has been of prime importance in our understanding of how galaxies form. On scales greater than 10 h-1Mpc, the underlying mass distribution of the universe is a relic of the primordial density fluctuations in the early universe. If light traces the mass, then the large-scale distribution of galaxies and clusters of galaxies we see today must be predicted by theories of the early universe and galaxy formation.
